I really enjoy Grid Legends. How would you compare motorfest vs forza horizon?Been playing the trial for The Crew: Motorfest and I quite like it. Driving is fun and there seems to be a good variety of cars and events. It does have its share of annoyances, I don't know why every time I start I have to be walking around inside some car showroom. Then I have to exit and drive back to the place I was last playing. Most of the time I would rather just pick races off a menu.
I used to be a big racing game guy but much less so now. Even old style arcade racers which I was all in for back in the day (looking at Outrun Online Arcade on PS3, RIP) just don't do it for me anymore. I do like Grid: Legends quite a bit, it gives me a nostalgic feeling for the classic Toca Touring Car games and it has the brilliant feature of other drivers making big mistakes.
Motorfest doesn't really have that but it is a lot of fun to play. It's on sale right now (55 pounds), it's only a month old but was probably generally overlooked because there are just so many bloody good games this year. I might be tempted to just buy it.
edit: Just now I was playing a final event in a "playlist" (because of course it has to be called something like that) and my only opponent actually did make a massive mistake which resulted in my overtaking and winning. Unlike Grid I can't watch the race back and see what he did wrong (he was way ahead and suddenly his arrow just stopped) but it's still pretty cool.
